Mark 16:15-Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to every creature. Mark 16:15 doesn't call us to stay within the 4 church walls, it commands us to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whatever your calling, that's your ministry. If you're a teacher, you're a minister in education because you're educating children. Teachers have a tough job because they wear many hats: Educator, advocate, parent (for some children, that teacher is the closest parental figure they'll ever have). There's nothing like a successful student coming back years later and thanking that teacher who believed in them. That's...ministry. Coaches are considered ministers because they work with athletes daily. For many young athletes, their coach is like a father to them especially coming from the ghetto. You don't need to be in the puplit Sunday & Wednesdays preaching the gospel to be considered a minister. As long as someone's making a difference, they are a minister whether it's a doctor, lawyer, law enforcement officer, etc. Let's stop limiting ministry to a pulpit on Sundays & Wednesdays.
